the clinical program

real people. real world. real help. real learning.

Clinical education has been an integral part of the ASU curriculum since 1969. Over the years, we have grown thoughtfully, expanding our programs and adding full-time clinical faculty members to direct new clinics and work with students. We have made a significant investment in clinical education - for our students and for the members of our community.

With up to 13 clinical offerings in a given semester, we meet the needs of many people in our community who would not otherwise be able to retain legal representation. Our student attorneys represent entrepreneurs and small business start-ups seeking economic viability, children seeking assistance in obtaining immigration services, juveniles in need of advocates, and inmates with compelling claims of innocence. They work to effectuate needed policy changes for families striving to balance work and other critical demands and for Arizona's Native American tribes and people on issues critical to their autonomy and sovereignty.
